I think I've always had those wild ideas where I can see the North Star and what this will look like 10 years from now, but convincing people of it now is rough.

I just love what adventure travel has taught me, and that's why I'm so passionate about sharing that with others.

It builds a lot of self-confidence. It's incredibly humbling, really pushes your limits.

To me, there is nothing better that you can put yourself through, like, and to do something

for yourself. When Editha Fette first started hiking and camping, she fell in love with

the rhythm of long days outside. She savored the profound quiet of the forest, the meditative flow of walking on a trail,

and the hypnotic crackling of a campfire.

But the more time she spent on the trails, she noticed something.

She was often the only woman wearing a hijab.

It was a little isolating, but it didn't deter her

from pushing herself to take on bigger and bigger challenges. As Neda became a more skilled

hiker, she decided to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. That trip sparked an idea. What if she created

a community where Muslim women could come together, adventure and build confidence?

Neda Fete, welcome to Wild Ideas Worth Living.

So for people who don't know you, how do you introduce yourself and your work?

Oh, that's a loaded question.

I always wonder what parts of me should I share?

How do I tell this story?

I have a background in computer science. I worked as a software engineer for a number of years. And over the last few years, my obsession with the outdoors began. I started

running, trekking, and eventually getting into mountaineering. And the one thing that I've always

been passionate about is building community and sharing the love that I have for my hobbies
